Welcome to EMS 2008-2009 7th Grade Wikispace

Welcome to the 2008 Innovations, Inventions, and Interactions wiki pages!

What you should expect to find:

Instructions for the project are posted on the wiki under the Innovations, Inventions, and Interactions Project link. Every student will post at least four innovator and four innovation pages. The Innovator page should give a bit of information about the innovator, plus a few interesting facts. The innovation page should describe the innovation and explain why it was significant.

The entries should be well written and well edited and should help readers see the evolution of a product or an idea.


Why do the project this way?

Doing this project on a wiki gives everyone access to the work of the rest of the class. Not only do the students see their own work in print, they also see what their classmates are doing. A wiki allows students to go back in and edit their own work – or the work of others. It also allows the parents to see the entire project as the teachers see it.
